Scoot Boot Classic Hoof Boots (pair)

Another purchase of Scoots for my second pony. I was so happy with hoof bootiques service and product provided first time around that I came back for more. I would highly recommend anyone considering putting their horses in hoof boots as opposed to shoeing to contact Liz or check out hoof bootique advice for measuring etc on their website and take advantage of the fitkit hire service they offer. Nothing is too much trouble for this company.

I love the look and design of this boot, particularly as they do not get soggy and heavy in wet weather. They are light and easy to clean. BUT the back part is very unforgiving on the heel bulbs. I did seek advice on sizing, I.e. sent HB photos and measurements, and hired the fit kit but unless you have used these before, it is hard to be sure you are ordering the correct size. Scoot Boots recommend the boot being very snug on the initial fit as they stretch and I had the recommended one finger gap at the back. But my pony showed some discomfort by moving her foot up and down and then I could not get near her with them. Hoof Boutique said it sounds like they were too tight but I could not get photos as she was in discomfort and I had to get them off, which was not easy after she had taken a dislike to them! She is a sensitive mare who had a rough start in life and once she decides she does not like something that is it! Anyway, as she had moved in them and stamped her foot I was not able to return them to Hoof Boutique. I would recommend anyone trying them for the first time to hire them first as now I am stuck with boots I can not use and I am out of pocket. As a side note, the new style has gaps at the side and I could see them filling with dirt and grit too. Great concept but I can not recommend them. - Hi Mel, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. It is a shame the Scoot Boot did not work out for your mare as they can be a great hoof boot option, but they are not going to be right for all horses. It is always difficult for us to give advice when we are not able to see photos of the boots or the Fit Kit on the hooves, as we are then guessing a little at the fit. It is advisable to hire hoof boots from us first, especially if you are not sure how your horse will take to them. We did offer in this case to take the boots back but as a retrospective hire, or to advertise them on our 2nd hand page for no fee (there is usually a £5 fee per advert) so we always try to be as helpful and flexible as possible. Many thanks, The Hoof Bootique Team

Excellent that you can order a series of different size shells at once to try on. The shells you try are not brand new which is a great idea. I recommend hoof bootique after trying some other saddlery companies who I was not impressed with, and whose customer service was driven very quickly by money and legalities once you ordered boots to try for size which I was not expecting at all. At hoof bootique you get personalised service, and friendly advice. The boots have worked a treat. We have order mud straps as well that add extra strength. We ended up with a size 2 so that with a hoof pick you can get a tight enough fit. Seem to working a treat at the moment.

As ever, a huge thanks to Liz for helping me find the right boots for my horse. I have a hoof bootique wardrobe! I needed a pair of close fitting hind boots which would deal with moorland terrain. Delighted with the service and the boots.

The scoots came very quickly and fit great. Slightly footy horse was much happier riding out.

5 star service from Hoof Bootique. Buy with confidence. the service they provide is second to none. Scoot Boots are great. Neater than Cavallos; easier to put on than Evos. Perfect for hacking over stony surfaces.

Great boots. It can be a real hassle getting the right size. We tried another company and they literally refused to pay for the boots to be returns as they had a tiny bit of scuffing in simply because we tried them on. Hoof boutique send out a selection of boots that are second hand and its not an issue. So you can try several sizes on. I would definitely suggest doing it this way. The boots now fit really well and are tight. We also bought mid straps to keep them strong. Our horse is fine with them and they boots are durable

Very good boots and easy to use. Big thanks to Liz for providing amazing support helping me find the right boot!

Used once but love them already, great fit, no movement or rubs, easy to clean. An instant success, massive thanks to Hoof bootique for the help in fitting.

Novices to boots but very impressed so far! Early days but am definitely seeing the benefits of being able to ride on any surface. A very efficient, fast and extremely helpful service by the Hoof boutique team! Highly recommended!
